How to Live With and Care for Someone Who Has Multiple Personality Disorder

Here in this article I discuss a little bit about what Multiple Personality Disorder is. As well I also talk what a person can do to live with and care for a person with Multiple Personality Disorder. As well I give several examples of how to deal with situations that arise when a person with Multiple Personality Disorder is affected by there disorder at the time being.

Multiple Personality Disorder is a mental illness in which one has two or more personalities that take over and affect a persons life. Now in most cases Multiple Personality Disorder is caused by some form of trauma that a person has suffered in there life. Now in rare cases research has found that Multiple Personality Disorder is related to genetics. Although most cases are due to some form of trauma. Now please understand Multiple Personality Disorder is more than just a person that has multiple personalities. People with Multiple Personality Disorder also hear voices inside there heads, which can sometimes affect the switching of personalities. As well people with Multiple Personalitiy Disorder can become paranoid and believe that the people around them are out to get them or harm them.

As well within the Multiple Personality Disorder spectrum one can have Fugue states ( A Fugue state is a state in which one suddenly and unexpectantly leaves there place of home or work.). Other things that can occur is what is called Depersonlization and or Derealization. These are states in which a person feels like they are outside of themselves, as well feelings that time is passing by really slow, as well in one of these states a person may feel like they are in some kind of dream. Another thing that can occur is what is called Trachyomia. Trachyomia is a state in which one is led to believe false beliefs. Now because people with Multiple Personality Disorder are susceptable to things like suggestion and other things and because of these things a state of Trachyomia can occur. As well people with Multiple Personality Disorder are usually very highly intelligent. As well people with Multiple Personality Disorder also have problems with short term memory loss due to the different personlities that they have.

Now that I have given a little bit of information about Multiple Personality Disorder let me begin as too what this article is really about. This article is about how to live with and care for someone who has Multiple Personality Disorder. Now one is, is that you do not have to " walk on eggshells" with a person with Multiple Personality Disorder, but learning how to live with and care for someone with Multiple Personality Disorder does require some patients and understanding, and as well a kind heart. Now often times when a person with Multiple Personality Disorder hears voices, they hear the voices inside there head. As well the voices that people with Multiple Personality Disorder hear are often times the voices of the people who traumatized them. So one thing that you can do if you see the person like talking too themselves with positive feelings and calmness ask the person who they are talking too. If you know who it is that they are talking too and what it is that they are talking about you can help the person deal with the what they are going through at that time.

Now if a person with Multiple Personality Disorder has begun the switching process and are switching between personalities or are in another state of personlity, then talk to them in the state of personality that they are in. It will make them feel more comfortable about themselves more likely to tell you what is going on. Please note when a person with Multiple Personality Disorder is in this state of switching or in another personality all together please what ever you do, do not talk down to them or yell and scream at them. Most importantly when one is in this state do not give them negative or bad suggestions because like I stated earlier people with Multiple Personality Disorder are susceptable to suggestion, and therefore if you give them a negative or bad suggestion they may end up following through with it.

Now also like I said earlier people with Multiple Personality Disorder can have Fugue states. As well like I said earlier a Fugue state is a state in which one suddenly or unexpectedly gets up and wonders off. Now if you are in the middle of talking to someone who is in the state of switching or another personality all together, and they out of nowhere up and walk off they are most likely in a Fugue state. What you would need to do if possible is try to follow the person and make sure they do not wonder off in the middle of the street while vehicles are driving by. If you cannot follow the person call a friend to help you. Another thing that you can do is politely suggest that they not go any where and maybe to lay down or take a nap. Whatever you do, do not force a person to stay in there surroundings especially if the place they are in is what brought on the traumatic memories.

Now as well sometimes people with Multiple Personality Disorder may get depressed and start crying. Now at times like this the best thing that you can is just to hold the person, and let them cry on your shoulder. Reassure them that everything is alright and the people who hurt them are not around. Now the things that I have entailed into this article are only a small handful of ways that you can use to live with a person and care for a person that has Multiple Personality Disorder. Now please understand that a person with Multiple Personality Disorder does not need attention 100% percent of the time. The things that I stated in this article are only meant for use when a person with Multiple Personlity Disorder are going through problems related to there disorder. As well sometimes the best thing that you can do when someone is in this state is too try to focus there attention on something or someone else that is more positive.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.

To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.

Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
